As talented freshmen, we began our Four Year Plan for revolutionizing the school. For the first time in the history of H.H.S. freshman day was held before all other class days. With the help of Miss Gallagher, we presented, without a doubt, the finest Freshman Day ever given to the students of H.H.S. As dynamic sophomores, our fame steadily increased. We explained thoroughly, in our class play, the structure of the atom to the other ignorant classes. Scholastically, we broke all existing records set by previous classes. Teachers considered it a privilege to teach us. As mature juniors, we presented a panel show for the first time in history. The Junior Prom was the big event of this year. Also dur- ing this year, we supplied the school with the Student Council President. And now we are seniors, the envy of the school. Last November we presented 3 highly success- ful play entitled The Divine Flora. This year Mr. Blake- slee has had the honor of working with the illustrious class of 1955. Since our revolution has now been completed, we soon will be leaving the hallowed halls of Hornell High. It is with deep regret that we say good-bye to the teachers and students who have shown such kindness towards us during our high school career. Many of our fondest memories will remain here, where we grew from immature boys and girls to mature men and women. 16
